I'm having an exceptionally high level of distress. If you go to the psych ER, do they admit you? Because I'm not willing to be admitted.
Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?
Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Steph, involuntary admission is a very high bar to clear - very generally, it will only happen if they believe you are going to hurt yourself or someone else - and it usually takes a history of trying to do one or more of those. Even then, to do so without filing an affidavit is really, really rare.
If you think you need help, I want you to get it.
I'm afraid it would create more problems than solutions.
Steph, can you call your therapist?
It is a terrible thing when thinking about getting the help you might need causes you more anxiety. I don't want you to have to go through that.
Have you rejected calling your own doctor? Can I see if I can contact bonny or some other Buffista to talk to you?
Maybe? I've never called her before, so I don't know if it's okay.
I will try her now, and it will be okay.
I'm on the phone with Tim.
Good. I left bonny a message. I know she will check in here when she gets it.
She's on her way here, Steph.
